Product Description
Ingram
Harold Adams again brings life on the northern plains during the Great Depression into wild focus as Carl Wilcox returns to his hometown of Corden, South Dakota, in time to discover the body of a beautiful woman who has been murdered in her bed in her family's hotel. His investigation into the murder becomes increasingly complex as each lead takes Wilcox into the past of the blighted family tree of one of the most powerful clans in the state.

A Disappointmnet,
By
This review is from: The Ice Pick Artist (Hardcover)
I am a big fan of the Carl Wilcox series and find them to be well written, interesting mysteries. In the case of "The Ice Pick Artist", I was diappointed. I found that the story went around in circles taking a great deal of time to arrive at the conclusion, which is odd for a relatively short book. Carl seems to be spinning his wheels and many of the characters are wooden. I guess it "can't be Nashville every night".

My first by this author.,
This review is from: The Ice Pick Artist (Hardcover)
I'm not sure exacty what the author was trying to portray in this book. I didn't pick up on any particular train of thought where the protagonist, Carol Wilcox, was concerned. At one point, I almost lost track of the cast of characters, there were so many; and there didn't seem to be any real connection between this girl and Carl that would make him go traipsing all over the place trying to solve her murder. As for the murder storyline itself, it was somewhat adequate in keeping in line with the rest of the book. Nothing to write home about, that's for sure.

A Big Dissapointment To Me,
By Richard Gehrke (Mahtowa, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ice Pick Artist (Hardcover)
I felt that The Ice Pick Artist by Harold Adams was a major dissapointment. I felt their was a lack of characterization in the main character Carl Wilcox, we don't know what drives him to want to solve the murder of a young hotel visitor. I felt their were to many twists and turns in the story that it confused me as a reader. Adams also could have gone into more descriptive language concerning the setting of these small towns in the Midwest, as well as the characters in the book.
